Extending video signal over Fiber was possible for years now. However technologies change, and new video standards were introduced for the video signaling. New standards (HD and Full HD) rely on new type of connectors and cables (HDMI). All this progress inspired new type of video-to-fiber converters HDMI to Fiber converters.
This extender/converter can take input from any video source which has HDMI interface (or even non-HDMI, but that would require additional converter). The source could be anything from computer or camera to video console or Blu-ray/DVD player. Received signal will be converted to the optical signal and transmitted over fiber. Transmission distance can be limited by hundreds of kilometers. Limit can be extended with the help of additional extenders.
Video surveillance, giant LCD screen in the city center, video wall system, projector – these are some of the applications where HDMI-to-Fiber can be used. All of them would accommodate full benefits from using fiber as the mean of signal transmission – long transmission distances with no repeaters needed, zero interference, and highly secure data transmission.
You can choose several versions of these converters including new mini type version:

Lomoveishiy – Finland
I needed those to connect my PC on the third floor to have internet access in that room, and ISP installed their modem on the first floor only. After dropping fiber patch cables, plugged in all cables into these media converters at both sides, and link came up instantly. Was much easier than I thought!
